i did a 1jzte swap earlier this year. (when i say I, I mean my mechanic lol. I didnt have the tools and the Know how to swap an engine out) There are some things you have to factor in like where your getting the engine from, the lost of some extra features(I didnt convert the a/c system over so i dont have a/c in my car). Plus there is ALOT of electric and cooling to make sure its done right. The alternator for example needs to be replaced with the Lexus SC (i think the SC300) since its harder to get the original Japanese parts sometimes. But all in all its a good engine and still can meet the needs of whatever u want to do.

What are you goals with you car?
